Special educational needs (SEN)

It is the ambition of the special educational needs (SEN) and disability division that every child with SEN reaches their full potential in school and can make a successful transition to adulthood and the world of further and higher education, training or work.

To promote the welfare and interests of disabled children and to improve the support they receive, this page provides a wide range of SEN and disability advice and materials for teachers, parents, LAs and others working with children with SEN in England.

Information for parents and carers to help identify and provide for children with special educational needs, including links to the SEN guide for parents and carers and the National Parent Partnership Network.
